Chapter 34: Tao Zhenzhen

For some reason, Nan Borong suddenly had a thought in his heart that he wanted to go in and find out. So, the dignified Dragon Tang Dewang secretly did the trick of climbing over the wall and entering the house.

Lying on the eaves, Nan Borong quietly lifted a tile, and the dim candlelight came out, illuminating Nan Borong's face hidden in the darkness, and it seemed to shine into his heart.

The room was small, and a dozen children gathered around an old wooden table, each holding a bowl in his hand, eating seriously, and none of them spoke. The children's clothes were old and had patches, but they were not dirty, and they were clean. And every child has a clean face, neatly dressed, and does not look sloppy at all.

Seeing this situation, Nan Borong was puzzled. This is not like what Yi Ning said, a beggar's nest, but more like a gentle and polite school, like a warm and happy family.

At this time, the fragrance of the food in the house wafted out, and Nan Borong, who had never been cold to food, involuntarily sniffed and swallowed a mouthful of saliva at this moment. Although he couldn't tell what kind of ingredients the dishes in the bowl were made of, he could also know that they must be ordinary food. However, why is it that when he smells it, it is more fragrant than those dragon liver and phoenix pith in the palace, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas?

Nan Borong was puzzled, but his eyes involuntarily looked at Hua Ruxue. The position where he was lying on his stomach was just enough to see the side face of Hua Ruxue. But the moment she saw the girl bow her head slightly in the candle flame, her white neck drew a gentle arc, and an indescribable beauty crashed straight into Nan Borong's heart.

He subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to remove the broken hair wrapped around the girl's neck. But when he stretched out his hand, he came across cold tiles. Nan Borong instantly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time. Why? Why did he have an urge to protect this girl forever? Why is this happening?

Nan Borong couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dare to look at the situation in the house anymore. He was afraid, he was afraid that if he looked at it any longer, he would be tempted to rush down and hug her. So, Nan Borong covered the tiles, opened his arms, and the black cloak was like the wings of an eagle falcon, and Nan Borong melted into the night in the blink of an eye and disappeared.

In the house, the children ate quietly, no one spoke, and no one made any indecent movements, as if they were all princes and ladies of the princely and aristocratic families, without the slightest vulgarity.

Hua Ruxue said that they must do it. In their hearts, Hua Ruxue is both like a gentle big sister and like a goddess they can't touch. Especially some girls, they dream of becoming a woman with a noble bearing like Hua Ruxue.

After eating, Hua Ruxue took everyone to practice writing their names as usual. She used a homemade ash pen to write everyone's names on the black wall, while others sat below, holding small stones in their hands, and practiced writing their names on the ground with a sharp stroke.

Among them, the fastest learners are Hua Jiumo and a girl who is about twelve years old. The girl's original name was Xiaocao, but Hua Ruxue felt that the name was not good, although they were not rich or expensive, but they were upright people. The name Xiaocao sounds like a little grass, and it always has a sense of self-contempt. As a human being, if you look down on yourself, then how can you win the respect of others?

So, Hua Ruxue changed her name and called her Zhen Zhen. Because this girl's surname was Tao, her full name was Tao Zhenzhen. The word "Zhenzhen" comes from "Taoyao": the peach is young, and its leaves are Zhenzhen. The son is home, and it is suitable for his family. Tao and peach have the same sound, so the name takes the meaning of peach blossom branches and leaves. It is also Hua Ruxue who hopes that this girl can have a happy home in the future.

"Sister Ruxue, come and see if what I wrote is correct?" Tao Zhenzhen put down the stone in her hand and called for flowers like snow.

Hua Ruxue walked closer and found that Tao Zhenzhen had written two names! The top three words are "flowers are like snow", and the next three words are "Tao Zhenzhen". Six words, although not very neatly written, but there is nothing wrong with it! Hua Ruxue was a little surprised, she had never taught the children how to write her own name. Just the first time I lectured, I wrote it on the blackboard. Could it be that this girl wrote it down at that time?

"Zhenzhen, you tell your sister, how did you learn to write your sister's name?" Hua Ruxue suddenly thought of a possibility. Legend has it that there is a kind of person who can remember and has an amazing memory. Could it be ...... Is Tao Zhenzhen the kind of person who is favored by God?

Tao Zhenzhen blinked: "My sister wrote it once that day, and I remembered it." ”

Hua Ruxue felt that her breathing was a little short, and she couldn't wait to prove something. So, she pulled Tao Zhenzhen to sit down in front of the black wall, and she erased all the names on the black wall and began to write "Thousand Character Text" on it.

Unlike other articles and books, "A Thousand Words" does not have a single repetition in its entirety. This is of great benefit to testing Tao Zhenzhen's ability to never forget.

Seeing this, the surrounding children all put down the small rocks in their hands and gathered around to see what they were doing. Zhang Chengyong and Hua Jiumo pulled everyone back a few steps, leaving enough space for Tao Zhenzhen not to disturb her.

Hua Ruxue worked the black wall, but after a while, she wrote the first forty-eight characters of "Thousand Character Text". If it weren't for the lack of space, she really wanted to write all the "Thousand Character Essays" on the black wall to see how great Tao Zhenzhen's potential was.

"Alright, Zhenzhen, you look at the words and remember as much as you can, and see how much you can remember." Hua Ruxue put down the white ash pen and said to Tao Zhenzhen.

Tao Zhenzhen nodded, did not speak, but sat in place, staring at the words on the black wall with a pair of bright big eyes, motionless, like an old monk in a trance.

Soon, the time for a stick of incense passed, and Tao Zhenzhen picked up the stone on the ground and began to silently "Thousand Character Text". It's not so much that she's writing, it's that she's drawing. So far, Tao Zhenzhen has known a total of two names: Hua Ruxue and Tao Zhenzhen. She didn't know any of the words in "A Thousand Words". Now it's just a matter of drawing the words there from memory.

Tao Zhenzhen wrote one stroke at a time, and the people around her didn't even dare to make a single sound, for fear of affecting Tao Zhenzhen's silent book. After a while, Tao Zhenzhen signaled that she had finished writing.

Hua Ruxue walked closer and looked carefully at these crooked words. She wrote a total of the first forty-eight words in "Thousand Words", and she can guarantee that Tao Zhenzhen doesn't know the words in it at all! However, Tao Zhenzhen actually wrote it! And forty-eight words, not a single typo! Hua Ruxue was so shocked by her ability to defy the sky that she was speechless.

"How? What do you think? How many are right? Hua Ruxue didn't speak, but she was anxious to get rid of Zhang Chengyong, who was waiting on the side. Even the children on the side craned their necks to hear the results.

Hua Ruxue came back to her senses and said: "Forty-eight words, not a word falls, a word is good!" ”

There was a sudden burst of enthusiastic cheers around her, and the children rushed up to surround Tao Zhenzhen, looking at her with blazing eyes. They had only heard the storyteller's words in the past, and they had mentioned the ability to never forget them, but they didn't expect to see them today! I didn't expect that this person with unique skills was still a little friend with them day and night!

Tao Zhenzhen was very embarrassed by everyone, her little face was flushed, and she wanted to find Hua Ruxue to relieve her. But she didn't think about it, as soon as she looked up, she found that Hua Ruxue was no longer in the house. Now she is pulling Zhang Chengyong and Hua Jiumo to stay outside.

"Calling you two out actually has something to tell you." As soon as Hua Ruxue opened her mouth, the two knew that what she was going to say must be related to Tao Zhenzhen.

Sure enough, Hua Ruxue continued: "You have also seen that Zhen Zhen has the ability to never forget. I want to send her to the academy. Her talent would be a waste if she didn't use it. ”

Hua Jiumo immediately nodded: "I think Sister Ruxue is reasonable, Zhen Zhen's talent is obvious to everyone, if she has been following us here, it will indeed delay the future too much." ”

After all, Zhang Chengyong is older, and he thinks about things more thoroughly: "I also agree with your statement, but there are two problems at the moment. First, the academy only recruits the noble ladies of the family as female disciples, how can Zhen Zhen enter? Second, we don't have any money now, so how can we afford her education? ”

Hua Ruxue thought for a moment and said: "The matter of the female disciple is easy to solve, let Zhen Zhen disguise herself as a man and mix in." Zuo, but she is still young, and now she has solved the problem of studying first, and we will find a way to follow up with the follow-up. It's important to let Zhen Zhen go in to study first. ”

Zhang Chengyong and Hua Jiumo thought about it carefully for a moment, and they both felt that this thing was feasible. Tao Zhenzhen is petite, if she falsely reports her age and becomes a male baby, it is not impossible. It's just that she has to pay more attention to her daily life and don't be discovered. Then there's the question of money......

Zhang Chengyong thought about it, seemed to have made a decision, gritted his teeth and said: "I'll figure out a way to deal with money, you don't have to worry about it." Prepare for Zhen Zhen, the beginning of April after the year is the day of enrollment of Chongwen Academy, let's Zhen Zhen, we have to go in, and come back with a female champion! ”

Hua Ruxue and Hua Jiumo glanced at each other, not knowing how Zhang Chengyong could raise a tuition fee. You must know that the Chongwen Academy is the best academy in the empire, and the tuition fee is naturally not something that ordinary people can afford! But looking at his sworn appearance, Hua Ruxue felt that maybe he really had a way to do this.

Not really...... Hua Ruxue suddenly remembered the man who had saved his life, An Rushan. He was in the imperial capital. I remember that he once said that he was the hall master of the Dragon and Tiger Hall. If Zhang Chengyong really has no choice...... Then why don't you borrow some from him first!
